3.0 star ratingVariety of breakfast was good, the pool area was lovely and the shuttles to the parks were efficient. The room served a purpose. Although public transport is poor, the hotel is in a great location if you don't hire a car although I would advise it if you are staying longer than 5 days like we were.breakfast staff advised us on our first day that tips were not included. Seeing as we had breakfast included in our booking we were not expecting to have to tip and did not have correct change. We received very poor and slow service the following day until we tipped. Rooms were aged and dowdy. The lifts were old and at times very jumpy which was very unpleasant. At one point the lifts were broken - I'm am not opposed to using stairs but it is very incovenient when you are staying on the 12th floor and have to drag your suitcase down to check out!Ceri28 March 2012

5.0 star ratingAlthough its a very large hotel, the rooms were clean and although some of the hotel looks a little tired it is very good value for money, you are in the middle of international drive and you have easy access to Universal studios and the two shopping outlets at the top and bottom of International Drive.Patsy 101 December 2012
2.0 star ratingThe staff were so helpful, understanding and kind during the problems with our stay. They were giving 5 star service in a 2 star hotel. Good location right new Wet 'n' Wild. If you want cheap it's cheap for a reason.The hotel is really run down. Dirty carpets in corridors; dirty room; ants in our room, beds and bathroom; tiny bathroom; hammocks by pool so dirty no-one would use them. We were so disappointed we checked out after 1 night and found an alternative hotel. 20 April 2013
3.0 star ratingPool really good and jacuzzi. Room spacious for price paid. Good to have a fridge in room. Staff really nice and helpful apart from guy mentioned below. No balcony or fresh air in room no where to dry bikini and towels etc. Towels very small both in room and by pool. Bathroom quite small. Not enough coat hangers for guests staying 2 weeks. The guy who runs the ticket desk is extremely rude to all guests and has no interest in his job whatsoever he is in the wrong job. Could do with more vegetarian options on the menu too.Louise28 May 2013

5.0 star ratingIt was very good and clean . And good transport to the park from the hotel.Mrs p07 December 2013
5.0 star ratingWe have stayed here at least 5 or 6 times over the past 5 years. We travel to Orlando every year, and this is always our #1 choice. Its not fancy by any means - but they are constantly doing upgrades and it has transformed quite a bit over the years. They are currently upgrading another building. We always request Building D - its the most renovated - the next choice is the Tower (the tower has huge rooms - but the elevator sucks) On this recent trip - we ended up in the tower as we checked in late, and nothing available in D. We got to our room - no problem - we were happy - but the internet would not work. I was on the phone for over 30 minutes with tech support and they could not figure out why we couldn't get a signal. I went to the front desk - and they switched us to D the next day - and everything was fine - they are always willing to help you out. The pool is great - it can get busy so get there early - but they have nice new chairs - a great pool bar - music (sometimes live) and a hammock. At night they have movies by the pool and free smokes by the fire pit. I overheard some workers saying they are expanding the pool area - so that would be great. If you are booking on this site - be aware that you do have to pay the 7.99 /day resort fee - the booking we made said it was optional for upgraded internet - but its not. Once I showed them my confirmation they agreed to wave the fee for us (which I was not expecting) - in the past it has always been included while booking through this site - but not anymore.The internet is a bit slow - but that's pretty normal for any hotelAnonymous 18 May 2014
5.0 star ratingThis hotel was great value for money.Found the staff very helpful and friendly.The pool was exceptional and veey clean. Location of hotel is on the midway point of international drive with itrolley stop outside of hotel.wet n wild a 5 min walk abd universal a 5 min drive.Only negative thing i can say is the drink is a bit pricey in hotel and pool area.if hotel took prices down i feel it would encourage more people to drink at hotel and up there takings,alsi lacking a bit os entertainment at nite.They had a singer on a satuday afternoon who was very good and it added value to the pool area.crocker13 June 2014
5.0 star ratingpeople were moaning about this hotel, but don't be fooled your not paying 5 star money. This hotel is central to attractions and universal only a 5 minute ride away. The rooms are big and cleaned every day the only downside to the room is the shower curtain touches you when getting a wash. Apart from that this hotel is real value for money the pool is excellent and cleaned every morning the hotel reception and staff all around hotel are helpful and always friendly. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL ALL DAY LONG AND WOULD STAY HERE AGAINstan19 August 2014
4.0 star ratingThe pool area is amazing - and really the only reason why we continue to go back. The price is great and location is ideal.In recent years they are focusing on upgrading/maintaining the pool area and common areas - however the rooms are quickly becoming warn and dated. Even the new D building is starting to look run down. I was there in May, and was told D was under renovations for new carpeting -however now in Nov - same old dirty carpets - and the Door locks to get into the building are never working - so you have to walk around the building to get in.Anonymous 16 November 2014
1.5 star ratingIs convenient because of the area that's itRoom was dirty, Had to get a different one but no big difference Definitely not going backAlex Estrella19 November 2014
3.0 star rating3 lifts serve 14 floors. 2 have been out of service for months, the third one unreliable. Many guests complained, forced to wait 10 plus mins for lift or attempt stairs with luggage. Staff were not interested in helping. Anonymous 17 February 2015
3.5 star ratingYou get what you pay for.......not too many facilities and there is a resort fee of 14$ for parking and wifi which they charge....but it is OK to stay. Its somewhat close to Universal Studios park. Overall I would say the hotel is average.starpageup13 July 2015
1.5 star ratingNone would not stop here againPoor quality rooms, dirty, dingy, in need of refurbishment. Was put on 11th floor with a disablsd daughter in a wheelchair and couldnt get the wheel chair through the door. Got mooved to a ground floor room and it was disgusting and refused to stop there. Managed to get moved to another hotel which was a lot better quality.Anonymous 12 August 2015

4.0 star ratingThe hotel was kept clean, especially our room. I thought it was very good value for money - and the staff were very helpful indeed. The safe was free to use as well which was a bonus and unexpectedNonecje18 November 2015
4.5 star ratingI have spent over 160 days in this hotel over the last 18 years.It is one of the older properties now but a continual refurbishment program is updating the rooms. My latest room was a king room with sofa bed for relaxing on high floor in the tower block. Ignore other reviewers stating that this tower block looks like a prison, the rooms are big and high floors can have good views of the surrounding area. Best view is the side overlooking the pool as you can see Disney in the very far distance. All rooms have coffee machine, refrigerator and microwave, safes and wifi within easy walking distance of loads of restaurants and bars. Jolly Trolley stops directly outside the hotel so ideal for people with no transport.like I said it is an older property but rooms are still very good and are a bargain at the price you pay for them. located close to slightly tackier tourist tat shops but only a few minutes via car or jolly trolley to the fabulous outlet shops at top and bottom ends of International Drivepaulm23 October 2015
4.0 star ratingThis hotel is in a great spot on international drive, a do-able walking distance from universal studios, straight across the street from wet and wild and in a great spot to try out all the restaraunts in the area. The rooms were standard but that's all you need as Orlando isn't the place where you're spending a lot of time in there. It had everything you could need a fridge, microwave, iron, ironing board, coffee maker, tv , hairdryer, you don't need any more as like I said you're only really there to sleep so it did the job.I think the only negative thing I have to say about the hotel is that I completely cleared my current account for dollars to spend on holiday as I got paid half way through our holiday so it didn't matter but when we got there we had to pay a $12 fee for each night we stayed (which I knew about which was totally fine) so before I came I put the exact amount I needed in dollars in an envelope ready to give to the hotel. She asked for my ID and the card I booked the hotel with so I gave her it , and without saying charged the nightly fee's onto my card without asking how I'd want to pay , resulting in me having to get my mother to transfer the funds to my account to save me getting charged for my over draft. But literaly apart from that I have no negative feed back, you're getting what you paid for. Katieeee03 July 2016
3.5 star ratingOutside was nice. The pool area was beautiful!Room was very outdated. Beds were horrible and t.v. was a big box t.v. plus microwave didn't work.Anonymous 17 February 2016
